Re: Pacers/Hornets postgame thread.

Vogel has gotten a lot better with the rotations recently. Tonight was pretty damn good, although the bench still kinda screwed us at the beginning of the 4th. But its good to see Vogel learning from his mistakes.

Re: Pacers/Hornets postgame thread.

Paul George getting 37 points and a Pacer record 9 3's is fantastic, However to my knowledge Hibbert is only the 2nd Pacer EVER! to record a triple double with blocked shots, point and rebounds! Quinn and Chris really glossed over this tremendous accomplishment! Way to go Big Roy!!!!

I still don't like seeing Sam Young play. He plays great for 10 minutes, then disappears for 200 - however, Vogel just remembers those 10 minutes.

He has a high motor, which I love - but he doesn't do anything on the court all that well aside from hustling.

Re: Pacers/Hornets postgame thread.

Aargh - wasn't able to watch live and the game hasn't been archived yet! Looking forward to it though!

Re: Pacers/Hornets postgame thread.

I'm probably reading too much into this but... Paul George was overwhelmed in his post game interview with Brooke, at a loss for words kinda. It seemed like he was just a young kid who was semi-uncomfortable with a sideline interview in that moment. What does this mean? Maybe nothing. It reminded me that despite watching Paul play a few seasons, he's still a puppy. For example, David West would never be rattled in a post game interview, especially at this point in his career. When we see Paul become fully mentally comfortable in the moment, whether it's games, interviews, etc... He will become more of what we see he can be.

Or maybe I'm insane...

On the game tonight. The Hornets were calling this a must win apparently, wanting to end their losing streak tonight. Hungry teams are always dangerous. Just like the winless Wizards were. Definitely happy with the two wins. San Antonio always looks daunting on the schedule, really never changes.

I missed the game tonight due to traveling purposes. What did the rotations look like tonight?

Re: Pacers/Hornets postgame thread.

Well, technically what Peck says is true.....PG's trade value will never be any higher......putting up these #s would help solidify the statement. But just because the statement is true, it doesn't mean that it will happen.

Re: Pacers/Hornets postgame thread.

If Paul follows up with a couple more performances in the 30ppg range, I think it will be time to forget about trading him. But those performances should be in the next two weeks or this is officially a fluke. If he goes back to scoring in the low teens, for the rest of the year, I think we know what we have.

Re: Pacers/Hornets postgame thread.

I still agree. He got hot. It was nice. Its not very repeatable and he created nothing. We could get more in a trade than we will get down the road.

But people think with their emotions not their rationality. Nevertheless I will enjoy the performance. Nice job Paul.

Why would you want to trade the teams best player? What do you think you could get for him to make that worthwhile? This team is adjusting and it will start to win. No, they won't win 60 games as some predicted and they won't win 55 games either. They probably won't win 50 games but they will get to the mid-forties and make the playoffs. What more do you expect from a small market team with no superstars and no real hope of getting one?

Re: Pacers/Hornets postgame thread.

15/7/3 now for Paul after his big game. He's averaging more assists and rebounds than Danny ever has while shooting a higher efg% than Danny finished the last 2 seasons with. Not bad for a guy that even a fanboy like me can admit has played soft and disappointing at times early on this season. Considering he's the same age Danny was when he entered the league 7 years ago, I'd like to keep him for a while to see how this thing plays out.

That does help with some perspective. I'm not a big PG fanboy right now, but I remember Danny's first couple years in the league and he also didn't seem to look like anything special on the offensive end.

Re: Pacers/Hornets postgame thread.

I liked Vasquez in the 010 draft, and for a #28 pick he's turning out well. He's got great size for a PG, looks to pass, and makes his team mates better players.

Yep I've been watching Vasquez since college and I wanted him to be drafted in the first round but no by the Pacers, I knew he was going to come to a team that doesn't help point guards, I bet he looks like garbage here.

Memphis was not the right place for him either, I'm glad he ended up in New Orleans, I expected him to be good but not this good, he is a pretty damn good floor general, he is the one that makes that offense moves, Vasquez is so good that he has made Aminu a serviceable player.
